● The Memorial Day Conference on May 25-28, Bellevue, WA

The Memorial Day Conference on May 25-28 was centered on three crucial keys for the fulfillment of God's eternal economy.

(1) The oneness of the Body of Christ is the oneness in the Triune God; (2) By seeing the vision of the age and holding the teaching of the apostles, we can practice the proper one accord being in one spirit with one soul, having one mind, will, mouth, heart, way, and one scale, to voice, trumpet, and teach the same thing; and (3) The Lord's move is to bring us into a new revival to recover the priesthood of the gospel; the direction of the Lord's move is to build up the organic Body of Christ, to prepare the Bride, and to bring in the kingdom of God. 
                                            

The saints were refreshed and touched with the vision of the tabernacle with its materials of gold and acacia wood and its structure of 48 boards with uniting bars passing through the rings on the boards, signifying the experience of the crossing and uniting Spirit for the building up of all the members into one Body. The Body must grow by the increase of God, to mature in life and become the beautiful Bride, and to let Christ as the seed of life spread in us until the full harvest, which is the manifestation of the kingdom, the establishment of God's dominion over the entire earth. (Bro. V. S.)

The second aspect of the oneness is seen in the overlaying of the boards with gold. Surely we all have the gold in us when we believe into the Lord. But the question we need to ask ourselves today is “Are we in the gold?” How much are we in the gold? When others contact us, do they see us or do they see the gold? In our experience, we may only be in a thin film of gold. The apostle Paul desires to be found in Christ by all who observed him. He aspired to have his whole being immersed in and saturated with Christ that all who observed him might find him fully in Christ. Our natural human nature (signified by the acacias wood), regardless of how good it is, cannot build up the Body of Christ. Only by being in the gold, only by being in the processed Triune God, can the Body of Christ be built up. The oneness of the boards was not in the acacia wood but in the gold that overlaid the wood. Therefore, we need much more gold to be laid upon us. May we be those who “sink deeply into the Triune God” until we are fully overlaid with gold. (Bro. F. W.)                                                                                                                 ************ I enjoyed the message on the oneness of the Body of Christ, the oneness in the Triune God typified by the tabernacle. Our brother shared the three aspects of the oneness in the Triune God. First, we see the three gold rings (the receptacles for the uniting bars), which signify the initial Spirit, the regenerating and sealing Spirit, the all-inclusive Spirit of the Triune God in resurrection for the uniting of the believers. Second, we see the overlaying of the boards (signifying the believers with the human nature) with gold (signifying God with the divine nature). The more we are overlaid with gold, the more oneness we will have; and the more we have God, the stronger our oneness is. Today the Lord needs this genuine oneness, because if we do not have this oneness, we will not be able to go on in the Lord’s recovery! The only way to be kept in this solid and real oneness is to have an adequate amount of experience of God in our daily life. The third aspect of the oneness in the Triune God is seen with the uniting bars, which held the forty-eight boards together and brought them into oneness; these uniting bars signify the initial Spirit becoming the uniting Spirit to join all the members of Christ into one Body. The oneness of the Spirit is the Spirit Himself. To keep the oneness of the Spirit is to keep the life-giving Spirit. If we act apart from the Spirit, we are divisive, and lose the oneness. If we stay in the life-giving Spirit, we keep the oneness of the Spirit. May the Lord gain us more each day and be built up together in oneness. (Bro. R. L.)                                                                      ************ This weekend we went to the memorial day conference at Bellevue. There were many saints from all over the world.  I was especially impressed by the speaking of certain brother regarding the churches in Ukraine. There were around 60 churches in Ukraine with close to two thousand saints.  I also enjoyed the main topic of the conference which is about oneness,  talking about how we should keep the oneness and one accord. During the last meeting, I went to the front to prophesy. There were more than 2000 saints present.  I talked about how we should bring in the kingdom and we as the greatest ever generation will bring in the kingdom and allot land to everyone from past present and future. It was a good weekend in Washington state.  (Bro. J. Y.)
